Decoying pigeons over November maize - Crowhow

Andy Crow is on a neighbour's farm helping to keep wood pigeons off a maize crop. He is sharing a hide with Frederic Hanner, who provides him with Blaser shotguns. It's a day to build a bag slowly as the pigeons come in.

Why shoot pigeons?
The woodpigeon is recognised as the UK’s number one agricultural pest and causes millions of pounds of damage (AHDB consultation 10-40% loss in yield. Equivalent loss of £125/ha for Oil Seed Rape, £250/ha for peas, £350-£1250/ha for brassicas) to agricultural crops every year including cereals, brassicas, oilseed rape, peas and salad crops. Pigeon damage reduces the yield, quality, appearance and ultimately the saleability of the crop. Pigeons can also cause damage in gardens and allotments - pecking at the leaves and ripping off portions, often leaving just the stalks and larger leaf veins. They may also attack and strip buds, leaves and fruits off trees and bushes.
The UK woodpigeon population was last estimated at 5.4 million pairs in 2009. Densities of wood pigeon are the highest in Eastern England, coinciding with the highest concentration of horticultural production.
Wild pigeon (game) is natural and free range, and it is one of the healthiest meats available today. It’s low in cholesterol and high in protein… and, quite simply, delicious.

About damn time more guns are made with double triggers. A big advantage for instant range selection - admittedly more of an issue when roost shooting than here

[@iainlaw2696]

Not true u just have to pull the trigger twice

Im curious to know what chokes Andy uses with clear pigeons cartridges. I thought i read somewhere he said not to use too much choke with them but i cant for the life of me find where i read it.

[@shanestephens1136]
